The annual Kappa Alpha Theta Easter Egg Hunt for all local children will be held Sunday, April 9, at 12:30 p.m. at War Memorial Park...and the Easter Bunny will be there, too.

Children will be divided into three age groups: preschool, K-2, grade 3 and up.
A 'golden" egg will be hidden for each category. Those who find the "golden" will win a basket full of goodies. Youngsters may have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny.

The sorority has been hosting the event for more than a decade. It draws a large crowd of children each year. In case of inclement weather, the hunt will begin at noon at Affinity Commons on campus.
